Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's the what's the latest in your little world? Did
you write any viral op ads for the Houston Chronicle today?
Or oh god, this is going straight to his head,
hasn't it? What He's gonna be riding this for a while.
What I'm just saying, I'm a very important editorial writer
for a major newspaper. Now.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
It just reminds me of the movie The Jerk with
Steve Martin when he noticed his name was in the
phone book and he exclaimed.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I am somebody. It is kind of like that. It's
very much like that, and I'm somebody and it feels good.
It feels good to be a.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Person in My favorite part of that was when the
when the oil cans started exploding, remember that I do.
It was somebody trying to shoot the Jerk whatever his
name was in the show, and he kept missing, and
he was hitting that display of oil cans, and he's like,
somebody is.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Shooting these oil cans. What did they ever do? What
he was? He was funny? Yeah, it wasn't funny when
you do it. They hate the oil cans, Yeah, they
hate these they hate these cans. Get away from these cans. Actually,
it's pretty funny. That's funny. Yeah, you're not wrong about that.
Would dirty? Noah, No, they wasn't dirty at all. Okay,

(01:09):
So if you're just waking up, there's a lot happening
in the world today. The National Guard is taking to
the streets of Washington, d C. To support Donald Trump's
breakdown on the crime wave or that he's trying to quell.
And we have now got a report from MSNBC. I
love this detailing how Joe Scarborough, who publicly is criticizing

(01:29):
Donald Trump for this the you know, the MSNBC morning host,
is secretly privately praising him, saying the crime in Washington,
d C actually is out of control. I'm glad Trump's
doing something, but I.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Won't say that on his broadcast because it goes against
the Democrat wishes. The Democrats put out a talking sheet
every morning. I'm thinking this like four four thirty in
the morning. And you'll notice, because it's happened so many
times over the years, they all come out and say
the same thing over and over. The They have a phrase,
are a word of the day that they like to use,

(02:02):
and they all read off the same talking sheet, but
privately they feel differently.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
They used to share the script with you guys, didn't they? Oh? Yes,
we used to get those and we never use them.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
And I guess that's why they quit passing them out,
because we kind of spoiled it. Butlick, when you tell
the how the magician's trick works, the magicians hate you
for that.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Joe Scarborough is suggesting that some liberal media figures blasting
Trump's federal takeover of DC they're not really being honest.
Scarborough says he finds it interesting that some reporters critically
covering the Trump takeover have privately expressed concerns about their
own safety. Really, and I guess Joe Scarborough's been one
of them, and now he's kind of being honest about it.

(02:48):
Are they in DC? Well? Yeah, remember that Joe Scarborough's
an old school Republican, so there is at least some
conservative bone in his body. At the very least, John
Cornyn's conservative bone is probably in his I bet yeah, probably.
And now he's finally admitting what we all knew was true.
You know, the crime does kind of suck. It is
kind of dangerous. Nobody wants to walk around Washington, DC

(03:11):
late at night. I had an idea the other day
when every one of these liberals is out criticizing Trump
or anyone else for suggesting that crime is too bad.
We the co host producers of your favorite morning show,
we should volunteer to give that guy a go pro
and have him wear it late in the evening, you know,
nine ten eleven o'clock midnight, and walk around a neighborhood

(03:33):
of our choosing, just to show everyone how safe it
is out there. Yeah, let's do that, And I'm sure
they would agree to do it, because, after all, they've
all said, you know, the streets of Blah blah blah,
aren't that dangerous.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
Let me guess, Kenny, you would have done it, But
now since you're a published author in the Houston Chronicle,
it's probably beneath you.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
I would have done it. First of all, I did
do it so I could prove the neighborhoods were not safe. Right.
Do you not remember who I am? I'm not just
some guy. But you're different now, aren't you. I'm producer, Kenny.
I have walked around some of the most dangerous neighborhoods
in the city to prove they weren't safe.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Back when you used to be just some guy who
didn't write for the chronicle. Well, now you're probably gonna
start like wearing shirts with collars and coming in here
all dressed up fancy and stuff.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Oh what am I wearing right now? A T shirt?
And what's its say on it? It says a SPAE
or spae. It says Space Force. That's what I said.
I bought this off Donald Trump's website. I'm wanting to
buy it off our merch site. I don't think we
sell Space Force shirts, but why don't We's a good question.
Look how good it looks. It's a baseball tea. I
always like that cut the baseball tea. Make sure arms
look good. Look at my muscles. Check that out. Oh

(04:45):
my goodness, I know right, Oh my goodness. Did you
know I left?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I heard you lift? Yeah, and then you made a muscle.
And now I'm I'm questioning whether you actually do lift.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
We got all that advice yesterday in the email what
to do about it if you throw your back out?
For you? And I got to tell you yesterday I
went by my gym starting strength over on Shepherd And
you know what really helped? Doing chin ups? Really? Yeah,
because it stretches your vertebral column. I must have done
about one hundred chin ups yesterday. I couldn't do anything else.
I tried to lay down and do a bench it

(05:18):
hurt too much. I tried to do the upright press.
That hurt.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
I tried to tinse up right, tinse up for a lift.
You're straining that.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
But I just reached up. I grabbed that pole with
both of my hands and held I held that pole
in my hands and I just.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Pulled as hard as I come towards your face. Yeah, exactly,
over and over and over repetitively.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Yes, right. Why are you getting so excited about it?
I don't understand your reactions. I'm just I'm excitable. What
can I say? I'm just happy to be here. I
feel like I'm not in on the joke problem. What's
the problem, nothing, seriously, what's the problem.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Nothing?

Speaker 1 (05:52):
It's whatever. You don't care anyway, Walton in Johnson Radio Network.
I'm just saying, for now on, I want to be
addressed a syndicated editorial writer, Kenny Webster of the Walton
Johnson Radio Network. That's now my first name, damn right,
And I don't see your problem with that. Anybody want
to fight you on that I'm with you. I got
your bag. Bro. Damn, someone just walked in and looked

(06:12):
like he could be a member of the Commodorees. I
should have been. I wish it was true, honestly, mister
I think it would have been a cooler band if
you were in it. You know, it would have. That's
from a guy who looks like he could have been
in the Beatles'm just all that hurts. I'm just glad
you didn't. I'm just glad you didn't say Hanson or
cold Play. That would have. Yeah, that was that could
have been insulting too. I don't really have the hair

(06:34):
for the Beatles, do I. I couldn't even think of
the name of the band. Uh, Coldplay, that's a that's
a band. Wait, you know it's funny about that. That's
the white boy that was married to Gwyneth Paltrow. You guys,
that's ultra white. Two guys, your eyes just happened. The
Beatles is the only white guy band that mister O knows.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Well, that's the first one that came to mind. There's
probably others. Kind of funny, that's the first one you
thought of.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Yeah, you know, white white dude. When you sit down
and you think about a nerdy white guy band, the
first thing you think of is the Beatles, because that's
how racist you are. What about this?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
If that is that the Doobie Brothers, you would have
taken that as a compliment. Hell yeah, I wouldn't go
do that was yamo? Hell no, yamo.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Be there, homie. You know what I'm saying. Bro, the
Dooby Brothers, they're lit. I like, have you heard the
new Doobie Brothers album. I'm the bigger fan of the
new stuff is I have the old stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
But you know that's that's all right for y'all. I
didn't expect that much. All jokes aside.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
We have been playing some of the new Deobie Brothers
and I like that song about New Orleans, and I
won't say a word about the rest of the album.

Speaker 2 (07:40):
New Orleans song and black something wasn't it? Uh No,
I think the song is just called New Orleans. Oh oh?
Had one about the Mississippi River.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
That's it mentioned in the song. I think black Water
keep on Rolling. That's a different song, all right, So
I was right, it's different than black Betty. Yeah, that's.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Slow your role, you know, call flac many had a child.
What what happened to that kid? I wonder now I
can't remember for sure.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I think he became president right before yeah, right before
Trump's first term. I believe the day I'm thinking, well,
wild if I'm not the thing all right now that
you mentioned it, when we get back.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
To some serious news update, the Texas Democrats are supposedly,
maybe possibly gonna come back home by the weekend. This
is so ridiculous, But of course the only way they'll
do it is after they've declared victory.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I mean, honestly, let's be let's be real for a minute.
Everybody put your own politics for a side for just
a second. In this little back and forth between the
Texas Republican establishment and the Texas state lawmakers. Would you
not agree that the Texas Democrat state lawmakers just won
this little battle? Yes, I would. They have declared victory.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
They said they would come home as soon as the
first as this special session ends. Special session gonna end
on Friday, and so then maybe they'll come back. And
they said, this is exactly why we left in the
first place. Now, Governor Abbit, who likes to mouth off
and talk big, said I'll just call another special session

(09:23):
immediately after this one ends. And I'll just keep doing
that until we get this redistricting vote taken care of.
Could he do us so much for all that tough talk,
Governor Abbot over a week ago started telling people, you
don't come back to this vote.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
You can't be a lawmaker. You are going to lose
your job. We're gonna throw you in jail.

Speaker 2 (09:47):
He even threatened him at one point to send him
to their room without their iPhone or iPad.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
Oh man, that's almost as bad as jail.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
I think that's why they decided to come back. But
of course, you'll only come back if you.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Get a win.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
And this is a good tip for Trump. When he
goes and talks to Putin, he's gonna have to tell
Zelensky later how this is a win for Ukraine. Now,
you gotta understand whatever it is. Trump like a guy

(10:20):
wrote his an email about this, and he's right. Trump
is a real estate mogul am I right, sure, that's
his thing, all right, So all he has to do
is convinced Putin. Then it would be a cheaper and
easier if he would just buy certain parts of Ukraine
that he wants to. You know that he's already taken over.

(10:42):
You just invest in Ukraine and that way Zelenski gets
to say, we didn't lose the war.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
I sold that to them.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
That's a win, see and then people don't have to
get killed in the war can stop and everybody's happy.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Wow, just like that.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
The best negotiation, though, is when neither side is happy.
I've heard that from professional negotiators. If both sides are
just hay with the deal, then it was probably a
good deal.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
But didn't Michael Scott say you wanted when? When? When
you wanted? You? When? When? When you win? She wins
and I win from having negotiated a good deal. That's
when when when w there you go. That's never going
to happen now, Yeah, the mean in the meantime, in
the world of eligible bachelor's, I don't know if she's
for me. But uh, I don't know, mister oh, you
have any interest in taking a shot at Ashley Biden.

(11:36):
She's back on the market. Ashley biden ex first daughter
Ashley Biden, is filing divorce from her husband, doctor Howard Crane,
alongside a very snarky Instagram message Biden's Instagram story on
the same day as her divorce in the Philadelphia Court
of common Please white girl band Go Goes? What Ashley

(11:57):
looked like? She could have been in the Go Gos?
You think so, that's actually pretty funny. Did he just
tell you to say that he just wanted to know
the name of a white girl band. Well, I'll mission
accomplished there anyway. Ashley Biden with the Bengals, wuld it
have been funnier? I think Go Go's is funnier. Not
to make you feel bad about your reference there, but
she knows about black people music. She did a post

(12:19):
on social media where she used a song Freedom by Beyonce.
Ashley Biden not Ashley Babbitt. That's somebody else. Oh well
it's close though. That's no, it's not at all. They're
two completely different persons. One is alive and one is not. Anyway,
she's getting divorced here, And I don't think Ashley Biden's
bad one. She's a pretty girl. But the problem with
Ashley Biden is I wouldn't I don't think i'd want

(12:42):
to have a relationship with anyone who had sex with
her dad. That seems kind of unhealthy, creepy.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Yeah, of course, you don't know you know the girls
you're dating, how many of them have had sex with
their dad or you.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Know your dad for that matter. Unless you ask, do you?
Do you ask? I'm I've never actually asked a girl that.
But it's kind of like Dave Chappelle said, there's a
lot of people in this building who have been sexually assaulted.
But you didn't get sexually assaulted by Michael Jackson, did you?
So I don't get it. Well, I think he was.
It's you had to be there. I guess I wasn't there.

(13:15):
I think he was trying to make the point that
if you're getting touched by Michael Jackson, you're extra special.
Now I don't agree with that. I think that's a
terrible way to look at it, but that was the
point he was making.

Speaker 2 (13:25):
Good question from the email, is Lena of Harris County
Fame dating her head of security? You know, because it's
a story that she paid nine hundred million dollars for security.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Close nine hundred thousand. But to your point, the lawmaker,
the now disgraced lawmaker from the Ferguson, Missouri area, Corey Bush,
was paying her boyfriend millions of dollars in security fees
and it turned out he wasn't even licensed to do
security in Missouri.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
Anybody remember LaToya the Destroyer from New Orleans. Anybody remember
a Fanny what's her name? At one time?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well that was technically a lawyer that worked in the
district court with her.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
But they all seem to be dating and funneling money
to somebody within their inner circle.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
Now, I think it's disgraceful that these powerful women get
into politics and that's what they do. But there is
another side of this story. How cool are these guys
that they found a way to get chicks to pay
them to have sex. I mean, good for you guys.
I don't hate the player, hate the game, you know
what I mean. I don't like gay people. I don't
like Muslims, I don't like abortions, I don't like anything liberals.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
But I really like to.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Get along with people called the Jibijabe. Walton and Johnson
